Great to meet you!

DeSonta uses an approach that combines empathy and unconditional positive regard, to assist in making changes in various areas. DeSonta utilizes a holistic approach where clients are encouraged to explore psychoeducation, self-awareness, and the interconnectedness of their environment.

My approach to therapy

DeSonta is a humanistic, person-centered therapist. Her theory is that when people are determined, have the information and resources they can learn to consider other’s perspectives and challenge their former thinking; therefore, experiencing change.
